Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to miniature loaders for application a controlled amount of electrical charge on a receptor.
- the invention relates to a write head for an electronic printing machine.
- Some charging devices use corona discharge or arc discharge applied to generate charge carriers. Such devices suffer from one locally very specific and sporadic electron leakage from a cathode, what that Controlling the charging process difficult. It is also difficult to have a high plasma space loading density maintain and thus the possible cathode current density reduce.
- the charge carriers are generated in a direct current glow plasma.
- a direct current glow plasma Although such devices create a denser, more conductive plasma than corona devices, it is a disadvantage that the cathode still has to be exposed to the plasma. Due to the surface condition of the cathode, functional fluctuations and edge effects, uneven current distributions and electrical fields appear on the cathode surface. These uneven current distributions and electric fields cause a time-related fluctuation pattern of hot spots "on the cathode surface, which is generally indicated by the hot spots ", sputtering and glow-electric evaporation lead to rapid erosion. Furthermore, chemically reactive types of charge carriers generated in the plasma (in particular if the plasma is generated in air) can decompose or oxidize the electrode exposed to the plasma. These effects can cause life of such a device, and these devices require a gas-containing environment and a complicated, controlled gas delivery system to form the appropriate plasma.
- High frequency discharge is used in other charging devices.
- the Strength of the transferred charge is controlled by the length of time that the Discharge ignited, controlled as described in US 4,992,807. This has the disadvantage that the high-frequency source must be given pulses and thus the plasma is repeatedly ignited and cooled.
- Toshiba Corporation also has one Ion beam "- ( ion-jet ") - Printhead in which two electrodes are used on both sides of a ceramic layer in connection with an alternating voltage supply.
- this printhead is used to apply large amounts of charge, it is not a writing head and therefore cannot be individual, corresponding to a picture element
- a separate control electrode is required on both sides of the ceramic layer, and no control electrode is provided directly on the ceramic layer.
- charge carriers are caused by a high-frequency gas discharge generated.
- the electrode that sends the radio frequency signal is on one One side of a dielectric body is arranged, and the discharge is on a second one Side ignited.
- the high-frequency electrode is therefore not exposed to the plasma.
- a control electrode is provided on the second side of the dielectric body causes a controlled amount of electrical charge to the receptor, e.g. B. one Printing cylinder in a printing press, is transferred.
- a high frequency source is applied to a High-frequency electrode applied to generate a plasma on a first Side of the dielectric body is arranged.
- a variety of control electrodes are arranged on the second side of the dielectric body and ensure that correct loads.
- the voltage at the high-frequency electrode is sufficiently high, it ignites near the second side of the dielectric body a plasma, the electron, negative contains charged ions and positively charged ions.
- the plasma control signals are sent to the plurality of control electrodes.
- the average voltage of the plasma in the vicinity of the control electrode changes by the value of the control signal, but the state of the plasma remains basically unaffected with regard to its earth potential.
- the receptor is e.g. B. a printing cylinder with a dielectric layer, which are on a grounded layer or on a charged with a constant voltage Layer supports. The charging of the receptor continues until it is on Potential that is equal to the potential of the control electrode is charged. To At this point, the ions in the plasma will no longer go towards the receptor dressed.
- the device of the present invention can because of the excellent Plasma formation, which is achieved by the high-frequency electrode, advantageously and preferably used in ordinary atmospheric pressure environments will.
- the device is also for operation in an atmosphere that is gas (e.g. argon, nitrogen or gas-air mixtures), the supply of which is controlled, suitable.
- gas e.g. argon, nitrogen or gas-air mixtures
- the use of ordinary atmospheric air simplifies use of the print head is essential, whereas a controlled gas atmosphere, which is suitable for some prior art devices are needed, a complicated one Gas supply system required and also to crosstalk between the control electrodes arranged side by side leads. This crosstalk is in ordinary atmospheric environment diminished or almost eliminated because the average free range of plasma ions is quite short.
- the loading devices are advantageously, but not necessarily, arranged in a row side by side.
- An arrangement of these devices can be used as an electrostatic write head with a printing press. With such use, the receptor would be the surface of a cylinder of the printing press. With such an arrangement of charging devices, pixels are written on the printing cylinder, which have a grid spacing of approximately 50 ⁇ m and a charging current density of approximately 1 mA / cm 2 and are suitable for fast electrostatic writing, with a gray scale at a speed in the range of approx. 1 m / s.
- Fig. 1 shows a side view along the length of an embodiment of the present invention, in which a continuous, sinusoidal High frequency source 1 from 800 to 3000 volts from peak to peak at 4 kHz to 1 MHz is applied to a high-frequency electrode 2. Except for contact with the High-frequency source 1, the electrode 2 is encased and supported by a suitable one dielectric medium or an insulating substrate (not shown) or on top of it built to prevent parasitic electronic discharges from the electrode.
- the high-frequency electrode 2 is along a first side 3 of a dielectric Body 4 of usually 10 microns to 100 microns thick arranged.
- the electrode 2 Preferably extends the electrode 2 extends along the entire width of the dielectric body 4.
- One Control electrode 5, for example 10 microns to 50 microns wide and one of a Variety of control electrodes is on the second side 6 of the dielectric Body 4 arranged.
- the control electrode 5 is capacitively grounded. Here is this Grounding through the capacitor 8 is shown schematically, for example with a Capacitance from 3 to 100 pF.
- a resistor 7, the z. B. a resistance value of 1 mega-ohm can be used to provide a control signal source 10 To protect against current surges.
- the control electrode 5 is positioned so that a Overlap is just avoided or so that this is the horizontal position of the High-frequency electrode 2 overlapped more or less.
- the dielectric body 4 should be free of pinholes and resistant to the formation of pinholes during operation. Puncture holes in the dielectric body 4 can cause a strong direct current to flow through the dielectric body, which disrupts the control mechanism and causes physical damage in the area of the puncture holes.
- the dielectric body 4 can have several layers of dielectric material because the layer construction prevents growth disorders from spreading through the entire thickness of the dielectric body 4. A natural mica, 30 ⁇ m thick and of course comprising several layers, has shown excellent durability, even if the atmosphere used for the plasma was air.
- An artificial dielectric body 4 with one or more layers of dielectric material can be created by layering or laminating the same dielectric material or by alternating layers of different materials. Such dielectric materials can include KAPTAN-PR, a polyimide manufactured by DuPont, glass and other common dielectric films such as. B. SiO 2 or Al 2 O 3 .
- the high-frequency electrode 2 preferably works at 4 kHz to 400 kHz or above; at this frequency a stable plasma is formed, that can tolerate fluctuating control voltages.
- a control signal 10 is issued while this state of the plasma is being maintained in the range of -600 V to + 600 V to the control electrode 5.
- the DC voltage via the dielectric body 4 in the vicinity of the control electrode 5 changes by the value of the voltage generated by the control signal source 10, however apart from its earth potential, the state of the plasma 9 remains unaffected. Consequently when the control signal 10 is applied, the appearance of the plasma 9 (in its size, color, brightness, etc.) little.
- the ground connections of the high-frequency source 1 and the control signal source 10 are connected to the Ground connection of a conductive reference electrode 11 (for example a grounded layer) a receptor 12, the surface 13 of which must be charged, connected. This is true e.g. B. towards a printing cylinder surface. If the receptor 12 is close to the plasma 9 comes up, the surface 13 is charged to a potential that the Voltage potential at the control electrode 5 corresponds. Under normal Operating conditions fluctuate the actual potential of the receptor surface 13 in an almost linear relationship to that applied to the control electrode 5 Voltage, but offset by an offset voltage.
- the offset voltage for a particular system is 30 volts and then a voltage of minus 30 volts is applied by the control signal source 10 surface 13 is charged up to a zero potential or earth potential. If a voltage of 70 volts is applied by the control signal source 10, then the Surface 13 charged to a potential of approximately 100 volts.
- the difference or Offset voltage between the voltage of the control signal source 10 and that at the Surface 13 applied potential is advantageously within a Voltage range of +/- 300 volts pretty constant.
- the offset voltage can be used for a certain construction, e.g. B. a printing press, measured and for calculation the desired control signal voltages that are required for a desired potential at the Surface 13 must be created, are used. If the offset voltage is constant, this calculation is a simple step of addition or subtraction.
- the charging device of the present invention thus enables accurate Process of applying a charge to a receptor over a wide range of tensions.
- FIG. 7 schematically shows a system for calculating the charging current, I OUT , of the charging device of FIG. 1, in which the charging current is applied to a surface from a specific distance d (as shown).
- This system can also be used to calculate the offset voltage described above.
- a test electrode 111 is connected to a screen 115, on which the charging current is then displayed, namely through the resistance element 117, which, for. B. has a resistance of 100 kilohms.
- a capacitor 118 with a low capacitance, for example with a capacitance of 0.1 microfarads, can also be connected in the manner shown. Since the control voltage V c , which is grounded and coupled to a capacitor 119 (e.g.
- the charging current is measured by the oscillograph .
- the width of the test electrode (as shown in FIG. 7) can be expanded to a width that equals a pixel width multiplied by a factor m, where a single control voltage is applied to a plurality of control electrodes.
- the charging current for an individual control electrode, the width of which is equal to a pixel width, can then be calculated by dividing the measured charging current by the factor m.
- the charging current blackens from a distance d of 0.25 mm almost linear with the voltage applied to the control electrode 5.
- the charging current is approximately zero, which is equivalent to the fact that no charge is applied to the receptor surface. It is charging current of higher values is also available if the distance d is reduced and / or the high-frequency voltage is increased.
- Other options such as B. measuring the actual charge or Potential applied to the receptor surface and measuring its surface temporal reactions are equally valid.
- the loading devices of the present invention for use as a write head 100 in a printing press are advantageously arranged in a side-by-side row.
- a plurality of control electrodes 5, 15 and 25 are arranged on the second side 6 of a single dielectric body 4.
- Each of the control electrodes 5, 15, 25, etc. has an independent control signal V C1 , V C2 , V C3 , etc.
- the end faces of the control electrodes 5, 15, 25 are typically oriented at an angle of 90 ° with respect to the high-frequency electrode 2. In such an arrangement of the charging devices, crosstalk between the control electrodes 5, 15, and 25 can be reduced by installing insulating structures.
- control electrodes can be coated with a layer of dielectric Material are coated, only the ends of the control electrodes, which the Nearest plasma are left uncoated.
- the process in Atmospheric air takes place as is preferred, be such insulating Constructions are hardly necessary.
- an insulating construction 24 with an open end is provided to reduce cross-coupling between the control electrodes 5, 15 and 25.
- This open ended insulating structure 24 can be a ribbed cover made of dielectric material. It can also be a conductive transducer or a protective electrode which, for. B. is connected to a constantly charged source and absorbs scattered ions or shovels "or holds the ion flow.
- Fig. 4 is another embodiment in which an insulating or conductive Construction 26 is provided with a closed end.
- This isolating Construction 26 can also be a ribbed cover made of dielectric material or be a pickup or a protective electrode.
- a transducer or a Protective electrode 27 at the opposite ends of the Control electrodes 5, 15, 25 may be placed to reduce crosstalk.
- the write head 100 of the present invention is as a component of a electrostatic printing machine 200 shown.
- a mass storage device 210 can do that Save data representing the image to be printed, including the gray scale data.
